The late fall in the Stocks has created considerable uneasiness amongst the party who have been speculating for a rise, as there dries.not appear to be any cause for so sudden a depression. It has been asserted' that the Revenue this quarter is alarmingly deficient, but it is quite evident that the public cannot at present know what the deficiency ; is, as the accounts are not made up. In account ing for the depression, it seems more rational to suppose that there have been several large private sales of Stock which have been bought upon speculatio.n, and which the parties think it unsafe to hold any longer. Consols opened this morning at '79i, I, looking very heavy. The accounts from Manchester ate ♦ery discouraging, many of tire manufacturers .having expressed their intention of ceasing to manufactUre goods until prices get better, of which we confess we do not see much chance, as it will require months, and even years, before the manufacturing interests can hops to see high prices again. CITY, Twelve o' Clock this Day. The British Securities still remain with a heavy appearance, and although little business is done, yet the few sales made have the effect of lowering the price. Consls opened this morning at 79/, I, but shortly afterwards might be had at 79k, /, their present price. In the Foreign Funds every thing is dull and without any animation ; Mexican, 6 per Cent. are 641 ; Colombian, 1824, 36*; Brazilian Stock is a shade lower than they opened yester day, in consequence of the news received from Pan, to which little importance is attached by those best qualified to form a correct opinion.

From the concluding remarks whi ch follow, it does not seem probable that a passage by such means will ever become a common one. Calcutta, Dec. 28, 1825. On a review of the Enterprise's passage, it is evident.to any one acquainted with the subject that, first, the very worst season of the year was stlected for her sailing; secondly, that two more depots of coals, at least, are wanting, to enable the passage to he properly effected ; and thirdly, it occurs to me that the ship was not rigged ' and masted as she ought to have been. It appears hi g hly probable that , profiting by the knowledge obtained on this voyage, and attending to the three points I have mentioned, the voyage may be completed in 75 or SO days ; hut in less than that I should think hardly possible. If the distances from point to point round the projections of Africa and Ceylon are measured, they will be found to be 11,200 miles; to get over this distance in '75 days would compel you to maks good nearly 150 miles per ,day. owe o the stoppages by taking coals on board three times, and the operation of head winds are brought into consideration, I think it unlit be pretty clear, that if ever it is done. i n t his time, it will be by an unusual combination of skill, powers and enterprise, and that it will be equal to any undertaking of modern times. At the same time that I am' thus stating the difficulties that naturally present themsehes,, I am , cotifident that it could he fectsrl, though, effects , ' ; and that, if proper measures are resorted to, it will he tf perhaps, not with 111 44 1 unless they should meet with such a sale 1 4 terprise did, profit to the adventurers, the following their ship as the Eri and welt meritea.. under r e shortest possible route A steain-shir cOu'id take is comprised bearings of sours and distan c e s ;..-- S.

Total distama LAW INTELLIGENCE; COURT OF CH.ANCERY.--(THis DA,.) EX-PARTE GRIMSTEAD TIIE MATTER OF HOWARD AND GIBBS, BANKRUPTS. Mr. TRESLOVE stated, that the effect of his Lord ship's judgment,. was intercepted in consequence of some observations made- by Mr. Hart, respecting costs, after judgment was pronounced. The present object of mentioning the matter was, to have an early time appointee for the final disposal of it, that a dividend might be declared. His LORDSHIP said, there was a' great inconveni ence occurring almost daily from the way in which matters were discussed at the bar, inasmuch as costs were seldom, if ever, mentioned until the judgment of the Court had been declared. Mr. TRESLOVE did ask for the costs when judg ment was pronounced, but Mr. Hart objected, and promised to be prepared to speak to the matter on a iiture day. - His LORDSHIP remembered that costs were asked 'or, very largely, and if Mr. T. would mention it again :o-morrow, the Court would endeavour to name a hue for the disposal of the thing. WELLESLEY V. DUPE OF BEAUFORT. The plaintiff himself was in Court before the Lord ;hancellor arrived to-day, and sat among the Counsel ill twelve o'clock, when Mr. HART obtained an opportunity to request that he might be permitted to hand to the Court another affidavit made by his client, Mr. Wellesley. His LORDSHIP asked if Mr. Hart had 'seen the other affidavits? Mr. HART said he had. His LORDSHIP then wished that both sides would agree upon a time when there should be an end to all affidavits, because the Court read them, forgot them,. read them again and again, forgot them again and again ; and certainly they were not very pleasant to read. Mr. HART said there was no answer intended to be given to the last affidavits that had been filed by the other side. The present affidavit was very short, only stating in hoc verba the plaintiff's answer to the Duke of Wellington's letter ; he had only stated the effect of it before, which the Court was not satisfied with. Having obtained the copy, he now gave it verbatim. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.—(This DaY.) MOOR V. CLARK. Mr. CHITTY opened the pleadings. Mr. GURNEY stated the case. This was an action brought by a tailor for eight guineas, the price of a riding dress, which he made for the defendant's niece by his order. The defendant pleaded non assumpsit. Jane Walker deposed, that she was niece to th• de fendant; kept house for him for 3 years ; left him in 1821. Some time previously, defendant was aboutto make atour to the north, he asked her to accompany him ; he took her to Moor's, in order, to have her measure taken for a riding-dress for the tour ; he himself selected the cloth, and ordered it ; when made, it was sent to his house ; she thought 8 guineas a fair price for it. When first she put it on she called on Mrs. Ray, on horseback, and asked her if itwas not a handsome dress? Mrs. Ray.said, in the presence of the defendant, that it was a fine present, ,and that., she would cut a dash ing figure in the North in it. Some time after she quarrelled with her uncle; and when she was leaving him be elaiMed the habit as his property, but she would not give it to him. She was married in 1823. Mary Ray corroborated the testimony of the last Witness. On behalf of the defendant an ineffectual attempt was made that it was Miss Clark herself that was indebted for the amount of the dress. The Jury, without any hesitation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 81. Bs. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS-(THIS DAy.) PRIOR V. . This was an action to recover the sum of 9811., being the alumina of waste silk which the defendant had purchased of the plaintiff. It appeared that the sale had been made by sample, to which the goods supplied were much inferior, being mixed with raw silk of It's value ; and that the defendant had consequently refused to complete the contract; but it also appeared that there was no fraud practised by the plaintiff, as he had purchased the silks as imported from Italy, and had taken nut the samples indif ferentlf, the deceit having been practised in the original packing. This having been established to the satisfaction of the Jury, they gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Daniages 9811 THE LATE TIRE AT BRIXTON, AND CHARGE OF ARSON. UNION-HALL4Tuis, DAB•) Iliilei. 1,409 907 3,240 tO S , 806 610 Pines was brought up for re-examination on suspicion of 'setting fire to the premises of Mr. Samuel Martin, farmer and cow-keeper, of Brixton, on the night of Monday the 19th inst. She was 'apprehended and brought to this office on the next day, but. Mr. and Mrs. Martin not being able to attend, from having been injured by the fire, she was remanded till to-day. Mr. Martin.—On the night of Monday the 19th, I was alarmed at two o'clock by the cry of ": Fire:" I got up directly, and found that a barn and out-houses, within three or four yards of the house, were burning rapidly. I ran down stairs without dressing, and provided myself with a knife to cut the halters of the cows, 17 of whom were in a cow-house, the roof of which seemed on the very point of falling. I, however, rushed in, and naked as I was, in a few minutes I had cut the halters of 15 of them the other two could not be released, and perished in the flames. In a minute after I bed left the cow-house, the roof fell in, and I was so exhausted by such violent exertion, and the burns on my naked feet and legs, that I dropped motionless in the yard, and my eyes have not, at this moment, recovered from the effects of the fire. In recollecting the words of the prisoner, and her strange deposition, I suspected, and caused her to be takers. In the barn there was the wool of sheep, and timber to the value of 300/., none of which was insured. Mrs. Martin—The prisoner was my servant ; on Sunday week she asked for leave to go to a wedding, which I granted ; but in stead of returning that night, she did not come home till between three and four O'clock on Monday afternoon ; she then appeared to have been drinking ; I remonstrated with her, and she told me that it was the last time she would serve me so, as the meant to leave me. She seemed very much affected, and sat down and cried. I took her hand, and persuaded her to reform, but she assured me that she never could. She asked me for some beer, which I got for her. I advised her to lie down on the bed' up Stairs, and I w ou ld co me up and talk with her. She went up stairs, but came down shortly afterwards, with some caps in her hand, which she shelved roe. I said I was not afraid of her rob bing me. I thoUght her the greatest enemy to herself. She told me that she had lost her old man, and now she did not value her I cautioned her not to own life. She asked me for Is. and said it was the last she would ever sBeivneerwalhteinnlesl times, and said yo ask .me for. I gave ' her .One, and again advised her to behave better. In parting she shook hand,,slw,oittlhamree get P rnt b o ltal anyni n a ' rt i , is s t i r i ess e r ' e y p o li u ed7 " "d." " This night as I make my bed so 1 I shall do no by t his,; I either rise or. fall," As she went from the dOor, I said, "Lydia> . think on w h a t you do, " she replied, 441 never good," arid lifting her hand, she said, before, and had been guilty of think ; what I do is done in, a moment, must These. were the last words I heard her utter. She had if I di s charged her, she would do some often stopped main rh e mal e way many other irregularities; but As had always ahOWII. so violent a disposition, that I feared, injury to the fathily. She has lived With me 16 months ; she tame to me feom Dr. Gardner, who took her into his service on her being diseberged from the Treed-rnill. The constable who took her deposed that she was then drunk. As there was no evidence which could bring the crime home to the prisoner, she was discharged. FASHIONABLE IN'l'ELtiGicsi'ee.

The Royal Duke walked a considerable time on Sid* day, on the lawn attached to Mr. Greenwood's house tt Brompton. His Royal Highness was visited yes terday by the Princess Augusta, the Princess Sophia, mid the Duchess of Gloucester. Letters have been received in town within these few days from the Duke and Duchess of Clareneo, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. All their Royal Highnesses were in the enjoyment of good health when the let t ers left. The Duke and Duchess of Cla rence continued at Ems. • __ Sir Francis Burdett has joined his family at Paris. The opening of the Royal College of Physicians is to be celebrated annually. The firstanniversary, which is the 25th instant, falling on a Sunday, the celebra tion took place yesterday . in the College, at which Sir Henry HaWord presided in his full robes, attended by the mace-bearer, and the other officers of the College; the doctors who have certain honours wearing their scarlet robes, &c. Dr. Warren delivered an oration in Latin on the rise and progress of medicine in this country, which commenced at twenty minutes past four o'clock, and continued near an hour and half.— Among the doctors present were Doctors Maton, Mackinnon, Latham, Heberden, Bree, Paris, M'Gre gor, Babington, Granville ; also Sir Astley Cooper, the Vice-President of the Royal College of Sun eons; Sir Thomas Lawrence, the President of the - Royal Academy; the Bishops of Chester and St. Asaph, the Earl of 'Westmoreland, Lord Carrington, &c. ALDERSGATE WARD.—Yesterday being the day appointed for the election of an Alderman for the 'Ward of Aldersgate, in the room of the late Mr. Alderman Cox, a special Court was held at the Dis pensary, Aldersgate-street ; and Sir Peter Laurie having been proposed by Mr. Peto, and seconded by Mr. John Rolls, was declared unanimously elected. FUNERAL OF MR. ALDERMAN Cox.—The re mains of the late Mr. Alderman Cox were yesterday consigned to the family vault in St. Botolph's church, Aldersgate-street. The funeral was perfectly neat, 'and conducted throughout without any ostentation. The leave-taking address to his. Constituents of a Worthy Baronet of Civic Fame, which has generally been attributed to the pen of a florid Irish Barrister, has been discovered to be the production of an Actress of Covent-garden, celebrated as Mistress Malaprop. It certainly has few RIVALS in electioneering productions. A gentleman in the wine trade, who is in the ha bit of boasting of his house, garden, and every thing which he possesses, was enlarging a few days ago on the superlative excellence of his cellars t after dwelling on this subject until the company were quite annoyed with it, a gentleman present said—" Well, Sir, you without doubt have very fine Sellers—you seem only now to want good Buyers." Except thou desire to hasten thine end, take this for a general rule—that thou never add any artificial heat to thy body by wine or spice, until thou find that time bath decayed thy natural heat ; and the sooner thou beginnest to help nature, the sooner she will for sake thee.—Sir Walter Raleigh. SCOTCH BULL.—Blackwood's Magazine in allu- Wton to an article in the Westminster Review, " on the last (lays of Lord Byron," says, " the article is curious, as it contains some particulars of his Lord ship's death, extracted from his own correspondence." " Dick," said a miserly,meehapic to his apprentice at an ordinary, t0...y0u must .eat now for to-day and to morrow."—" Oh yes," rejoined the half-starved boy, " but I have not ate for to-day and yesterday yet, master." A Dutchman having frequently heard the word press made use of to imply persuade ; as " press that gentleman to dance,": &c. thought he would adopt a synonymous term, and accordingly exclaimed one even ing in company, " Pray squeeze that lady to sing." A certain Alderman of Norwich, (as much gifted as such gentlemen are usually apt to be) requested an author to write a speech for him, to deliver at the Guildhall, " I must first dine with you," replied the scribe, arid see how you open your. mouth, that I may know what sort of words will fit it." COUNS.EL'S Or! N iori.—An eminent Barrister had, some years ago, a case sent to him for an opinion. The case stated was the most preposterous and im probable that ever occurred to the mind of man, and concluded by asking, whether, under such circum stances an action would lie ? He took his pen and wrote, yes, Vibe witnesses' will lie too ; but not other wise. w. THE SEDATE COMMONER.—There was a Mem ber of Parliament who never spoke in the house but once, which was on the following occasion ; in the midst of an animated debate, a certain noisy member, looking accidentally at him, vociferated " Hear! hear!" To which he calmly replied, " I never do any thing else, Sir." The answer immediately got the applause of the whole house. IRISH ELECTION REPORTING.--A report of the Dublin County Election, exceeding two columns of the small letter, is wound up with, " Throughout the entire day, one could scarcely hear a word.'---A re port of this kind must be worth hearing. The Scots take credit for being gifted with the second sight, but their brethren over the water, judging by the length of this report, seem to be blessed with longer ears.— Query, ' which is bes V—seeing invisible things, or hear ing an unutterable speech ? As two Templar, were walking up Ludgate Hill the other day, their conversation turned on the illiberal attacks which Joseph Flume and some others, equally well qualified, had been making on (what they called) the Lord Chancellor's in fi rmity of doubting. " Aye, said one to the other as they passed a tea-shop in which Chinese figures are constantly bowing to passers by, " they'may say what they will of my Lord Chan cellor, but that mandarin there reminds me of him ; if you attempt to move him he only shakes his head."— Morning paper. The following anecdote of the attachment of a thrush to 'a cuckoo is too extraordinary to pass unno tieed.—About a month since a young cuckoo was taken from the nest of a hedge-sparrow, and a few 'days afterwards a thrush, scarcelkfleded, was put into the - same cage.

The horse performed his first miles in 8 minutely 40 seconds each, but the owner desired him to be pulled up in the 6th mile, the weather having evidently affected the performance. FIGHT BETWEEN REUBEN MARTEN AND JANUARY, FOR FIFTY POUNDS A SIDE. This fight took place yesterday at Blindlow-heath, Sussex, 26 miles from London. The distance combined with the oppressive heat of the day, prevented many of the swell patrons of the ring from being present ; but still there was a tolerable muster of the friends of the combatants. The merits of Marten, as a scienti fic boxer, are well known ; while those of January, whose ex perience has been principally derived from casual turns up in the brick-fields, did not create so much confidence. The men were both in good condition,' and entered the ring at one o'clock. Marten, attended by Harry Holt and O'Neal ; and January, by Dick Curtis and Young Dutch Sam. Betting 6to 4 on Marten. THE FIGHT. Round 1. January lost no time in getting to work, and hit right and left at his man ; Reuben, however, was on the alert, and got away. January tried the same game a second time, when Marten, standing firm on his pins, met hint full in the muzzle with his left. January stopped two well-intentioned fa vour., and rushed to a close, when Marten punished him severely right and left. They mutually broke away, when Marten wait ing for a fair opening , again delivered a flush hit on January's nozzle, and followed this up by. several severe facers right and left, finally dropping hint by a severe. nobber. Three to one on Marten. 2. January attempted to put in a severe blow with his right; but Marten was "at home," and met him as he came in with a tremendous stopper on the nuicrachcra. This admirable tact was pursued several times dining this round, and as January mina in, he was invariably met in the phiz. A close, and. January thrown, Marten falling heavily upon him. Four to one on Mar ten, and the brick-makers in a ferment. 3. This round partook of the same character with the last; Marten met his opponent on his rushing to punish, and cut him severely both right and left, and at length sent him down covered with claret. 4. January became desperate, hot it would not do, hi was opposed to superior science. Marten retreated, drawing his man after him, and severely punishing him for hi* temerity in coming too close. January's face presented obvious marks of the sharp ness of Marten's knuckles. In making a body blow, Marten slipped and fell, amidst the shouts of January's friends; but it was the last cheering hope. sth and last, Marten now made himself up for mischief, and judiciously waiting his opening, he let fly right and left, and re peated the saute sort of handy work till January went down, perfectly satisfied with what he had got ; and on being forced up and placed on his second's knee he said he had " enough," and flatly refused again to face his man, who was of course pronounced the victor, amidst various grumblings and growlings, in which the word "cross" was very flippantly bandied about from mouth to mouth. It was pretty dear, however, that January had not the " shadow of a shade" of a chance, and whatever might have been the grounds on which his backers rested their hopes of winning, in respect of fighting he was decidedly over-matched. There was a good deal of mono' depending, and the question " Cross or no cross?" will be decided this day at the Tennis- Court, at Alic Reed's benefit, where the stakes are to be given up. Marten hid not a mark, and acknowledged only to having re ceived two blows, while January was a good deal cut ; but his punishment was not so severe as was imagined. Ile left off fresh. and perfectly able, if willing, to have continued the mill. There was a second fight, between Tom the Tinman and Bill the Pitman, for a purse. Ten well-contested rounds were fought, when 'Tarn completely " tinkered" his antagonists " upper crust," and left him in much worse condition than his friend the brick maker. . . SAILING MATCH. Yesterday the first sailing match for the season, (for the silver cup, given by the Thames Yacht Club), took place below bridge. The conditions of the match were, to start from Blackwell, rail round a boat off Gravesend, and return to the former place ; the first boat in to have the prise. The following boats were placed for the match Sylph - Mr. E. Codd Stenger 14. Tone. Venus - Mr. G. Keen Horabolown 13 Will.o'-the•Wisp Mr. NV. H. Harrison Chelsea If; Don Giovanni Mr. 1 . M. Da ve y Ditto - 11 Shortly after nine o'clock, the signal gun was fired, and the boats started. The Sylph took the lead ; she was followed by the Venus, the Will-o'-this-Wisp was third, and the Giovanni fourth. The boats made but slow progress, as the tide was running up, and there was scarcely any wind. They were, therefore, obliged to he continually on the tack, With winning postures now the wanton sails " Spited all their Imam to charm tb' inconstant gales." The Sylph kept a-head during the match. The Wisp soon passed the Venus, which was for soma time obliged to sustain a close contest for precedence with the Giovanni. She, however, succeeded in maintaining° the advantage which she bad obtained at the start.. The Sylph passed round the distance boat 01f Gravesend about two o'clock, the Will4-the-Wisp performed the same task 20 minutes later, and the Venus was nine minutes behind her. The Giovanni was so far behind, that her com mander gave up the contest, and turned back without proceeding to Gravesend. The tide having now turned, and the wind con siderably freshened, the vessels ran up the river at a rapid rate, with every inch of canvas filled. The bellying sail " Spread a broad concave to the sweeping gale."
